Encode AI for Science Fellowship
Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA)
What you get:
You'll work alongside people who've scaled real breakthroughs. Salary (£115k), benefits, pension, compute, data, workspace, travel stipend, and access to models and tooling from our partners. We don't take equity.
Who this is for:
AI/ML researchers, engineers, and hackers. PhDs, postdocs, senior industry researchers who'd rather ship than publish. If you want to build, we want to talk. You'll need to be based in the UK. We help with visas.
What you'll do:
Come with an idea, or find one here. You'll spend up to 12 months collaborating with research labs and institutions. You'll have access to labs, datasets, and domain experts across biomaterials, atmospheric science, neuromorphic computing, neuromodulation, plant protein engineering, robotics, and more. You'll build: tools, systems, and early proof-points for ventures.
Timeline:
Applications open 15th February and close 28th March, 2026. Fellows selected May. Fellowship starts September 2026.
